I have looked everywhere and can;t find those European Style COin Pouches that John Bannon mentions in his book IMpossoibla. Does anyone know any online source to find them>>>

I seem to remember it is also called a bootheel purse. I have occasionally seen them at Busch Gardens. Try a local leathercrafter. I'm sure they could make one.

Try stevensmagic.com. They carry a lot of European stuff and I know that I've seen the purses in one of their catalogs.

Alan's on target - - - they are the Ton Onosaka purses, I believe they come in at least two different sizes.

A freind of mine has a source for some really good quality purses. He has made them available through http://www.MagicSmith.com If you do not see them on the website then call and ask Chris about the bags that Tim Kreiner provides. Or E mail Tim @ TKreiner@yahoo.com Hope this helps

I'm a hardcore magician so...
I start by going to exclusive Leather Shops. I need them to be exactly right and with an exact thickness of Bison Leather. then off to the tanning shop and I use only vegetable dyes. then i take them to a special blacksmith to do the clasp because leather guys can't do a clasp very well. then..... just kidding! sorry, i couldn't help myself.

Actually, the pouch kakronnen is referring to doesn't have a clasp--it folds closed over itself and has a "tray" area on one side and a divided pouch on the other--looks kinda like a figure 8 when opened. Typically, you can find these in kits at do-it-yourself leather stores (like Tandy Leather, etc) where they sell kits to make mocassins, wallets, belts, etc.
I got one of mine there. I also got one at a discount leather store in a factory outlet mall. if you can't find one, let me know--I'll see if I can round up another one for you.

They are also used quite a bit in Scotland where the men wear "The Kilt" so have no pockets to use.
We have a small leather container on the end of two chains that sits in front of the lower body and is called a "Sporran". Space is at a premium in the Sporran and the small coin purses are ideal as they slide in nice and flat. Regards Alan |
